Declan McKenna is very pleased to announce details of a UK headline tour for January.The hotly-tipped young British musician will head out on an eight date run, kicking off at The Waterfront in Norwich on the 23rd January, and concluding on the 31st January at Patterns in Brighton.

British rock band The Brew are joined by the Stuart James Band with rock, funk, rhythm and blues.

There aren’t too many bands nowadays that get to release six albums. Also, there aren’t too many trios in particular that can defend the reputation of being a tirelessly touring excellent live-act, all of which while maintaining the original line-up. No, THE BREW, hailing from the northern english coastal town of Grimsby are unique and they step back onto the scene with their new album, “Shake The Tree”. As with its predecessor “Control”, Smith, Smith & Barwick relied on the fruitful collaboration with Toby Jepson and Veil Studios. And their brand of modern Rock with psychedelic touches is in good hands with him. Over the course of a month they crafted ten songs that comprise this sixth album that has effectively outgrown any comparisons.

MFA (Million Dollar Bill) – Every Thursday at Patterns How will I know if MFA really loves me? You can find out this Thursday night… We are kicking of the month with MFA’s little tribute to one of our favourite ladies in music – Whitney Houston. Her passing was felt all over the world a few years ago, but being as nostalgic as we are at MFA HQ our passion for her music only grew. Expect the best selection of disco and funk – but we will save some of Whitney’s finest tracks for you We encourage our freaks to find their greatest disco attire and share this one moment in time with us. There will be FREE glitter available on request too…

To say thanks to everyone who’s come down and made every party so special, we’re more than pleased to kick things off properly by inviting some of our favourite locals to join us…
